subscribe book review: the gate keeper sunday, february 11, 2018 the following review is a special for readers provided by elise cooper. you can read all of our book reviews and author interviews by clicking on the books category link in the right side bar. the gate keeper , by the mother/son team known as charles todd, is a mystery with a huge ending twist. fans of this series will see scotland yard detective ian rutledge having to solve a case from a different point of view. he is not only the investigator, but is the first person on the scene so he has become a witness as well. because this is a different type of mystery, the todds wanted to make sure readers understand that it is not a puzzle where “there is a race between the writer and the reader as to who figures it out first. this novel has rutledge pursuing the truth and finding a solution. he has a dogged determination to keep tracking the killer.” having left his sister’s wedding in a distraught mood rutledge decides to take a car trip. he encounters on a deserted road a woman standing next to a murder victim. she reports how a stranger stepped in front of the car and without warning fired a shot killing stephen wentworth immediately. with a list of persons of interest piling up rutledge must sort through the many different aspects of the case. he is helped along by a voice in his head, corporal hamish macleod, the ghost of the scottish officer he had executed for cowardice, who comments persistently inside this detective's weary ear. rutledge always listens, and appears to have given hamish a life that was taken away. hamish is real to rutledge, sometimes antagonistic, sometimes supportive, sometimes part of his unconscious perception, an inner-self. an interesting piece to the storyline is the similarities between the victim, stephen, and the detective, rutledge. they both had someone close to them killed in the war, although rutledge played more of a role. they were also both jilted by the woman they loved.” the todds noted, “stephen is the ultra ego of rutledge in some ways, and that is probably one of the reasons why he wanted to follow through and find the killer. they both developed levels of coping skills and were solitary people. neither became involved in a relationship after their engagement was broken. yet, ian came from a loving family, and stephen from a dysfunctional one.” one of the secondary characters can best be described as an early 20 th century “mommy dearest.” the mother of stephen is vicious, spoiled, and uncaring who tried to thwart any happiness her son might achieve. “we wanted to write a character where the mother hated her son all his life. she sees him as a monster, an ugly duckling. she has no redeeming qualities. she enjoys painting him in a dim light. basically, just a terrible person who is bitter and self-centered.” because world war i play such an important role in the storyline, readers get a glimpse into the emotional wounds of many of the men, including rutledge. “we wanted to humanize those who have served. our goal as writers is to show how they were ordinary people and then were trained to be warriors. when they come back they must learn to trust again and to relate to those outside of their unit, the band of brothers. they can talk amongst their peers because they know there is a sense of understanding. having experienced horrors first hand they cannot just shut out what they saw on the battlefield.” the gate keeper by charles todd is a ‘who done it’ type of mystery. readers will enjoy the investigative process ian rutledge must go through to find the culprit. posted by elise cooper on sunday, february 11, 2018 at 09:26 am in books | permalink | comments (0) | | book review: the trial and execution of the traitor george washington thursday, july 05, 2018 the following review is a special for readers provided by elise cooper. you can read all of our book reviews and author interviews by clicking on the books category link in the right side bar. the trial and execution of the traitor george washington by charles rosenberg is a great fourth of july novel. anyone who feels a sense of patriotism will want to read this gripping story about america’s general george washington. the suspense ratchets up as readers wonder what will happen to one of america’s greatest heroes. this thought-provoking alternative history book takes place in the midst of the american revolution. an english plot to kidnap general george washington, brings him overseas to england, and puts him on trial as a traitor. but some like british prime minister frederick north want to use him as a bargaining chip to put an end to a very costly war. british special agent colonel jeremiah black, an officer of the king’s guard, is assigned the task of landing on a deserted beach in late november 1780. aided by “loyalist” americans he is able to sprint washington aboard the hms peregrine. upon their arrival, washington is imprisoned in the tower of london to await trial on charges of high treason. an interesting controversy explored, are the us colonies in rebellion and therefore subject to charges of treason, or are they a separate country; thus, washington should be treated as a prisoner of war? “i found out these were actual arguments at the time. washington would argue he was a prisoner of war, and that under the laws of war, he must be released at the end of hostilities or exchanged for another prisoner. the debate: were the colonists a legitimate authority or rebels, as the king proclaimed in 1775, in a state of rebellion? although, there were actually exchanges of prisoners. in 1781 henry laurens was swapped for the british general lord cornwallis who was famous for losing the battle of yorktown. i think given the chance george iii would have wanted washington executed.” although washington is more of a secondary character, throughout the novel his presence looms significantly. key characters include the american ambassador, ethan abbott, sent to negotiate washington’s release, the british prime minister lord north, and the defense attorney chosen to defend washington, abraham hobhouse, an american-born barrister with an english wife. an added highlight has all the characters’ debating key issues of the time. rosenberg does this with a great writing style where readers do not feel as if they are being hit over the head with a history lesson. rosenberg noted, “he is definitely not the protagonist of the novel, but is more of a topic in it. i realized that the first third of the book, where the planning and capture of the general happens, would have him not commenting at all. for the second part, where he is on the ship, he is a prisoner, who is basically helpless. this means that he would not have a lot to say. because various people would have objected and commented that washington would not have thought that or done this. i tried to present him as his contemporaries described him. there were not a lot of personal writings since martha washington burned his letters after he died. this made it hard to get a lot of material. however, i did read his speeches and hope that i came close to the way he would have said things when i did quote him.” this alternative history is informative and interesting, within a gripping novel. part adventure story, part spy novel, and part courtroom drama it has many twists. this what-if plot has an intriguing storyline. posted by elise cooper on thursday, july 05, 2018 at 09:53 am | permalink | comments
